Speaking of which, I think the hour is late enough to let go of the paranoia and post who all is competing on the Andorian side. I mean, really, what effect can it have now? As competitors, I think I have we right to know who is participating.

Hey, it's not like the Delarquans have a list! Actually, I'm not 100% sure--as a few people have committed, but I have no idea who exactly turned in their sheets in on time. Certainly you can expect me and the Aradi Andorians to make up most of the team.

Seriously, could we know who is playing on each side, please? Not that it was going to change my mind in this case, but knowing how many players were on each side could have had a material impacts on whether I (or others) even choose to participate in a contest. I really don't think it's too much to ask. And it'd be fine if the 'Larqs provide a list, but disorganization doesn't bother me as much as the insane paranoia and disrespect to just purposefully keep everyone in the dark for no purpose.

Please, can we have rosters and a manager count from each side? I realize not everyone may show up on turn 1 and some of the teams may not even be 100% sure who is showing up, but I'll take your 90% best estimate. That'd work for me. 'Larqs (Shawn?), could you perhaps humor us all with a list as well?

Sorry to be so "perfectly normal and rational" about this whole thing. I understand how it must seem odd to you, Managerr.

Rational?
The Sentinel wants rational?
Does this make sense?
Isn't he a member of the FONZ allied nonalliance? Rational?
Isn't he the backstabber of his partner Soultaker in TW4? Rational?
Doesn't he use the name "Stud" sometimes? Really Rational?

Yeah, making you feel less disrespected is a good reason as to why everyone should do what you say. Spare me your speeches about disrespect--I honestly don't know and have been paying attention less than you think. Sandy will *definitely* vouch for Andorian team panicking/CSR Requests this week. The contest doesn't even start for two more weeks! There will obviously be a complete roster list before Turn 0 and the start of Turn 1. From the FtF, you should already know the Andorians that previously declared, along with Hombre, Ganolus, and Snotto. That should be like 90% of the Andorian team right there. The number for our roster size I gave Jiles/RSI earlier was 6 and I don't expect it to deviate much, nor am I expecting a lot of shockers. I don't know why everyone always thinks that I'm always together with things and plotting.

(Any other Andorian who wishes to declare, feel free to do so)

Shucks, this is getting so exciting with the banter and all, that we may have to consider reconsidering. (Restated: the probability of Consortium participation moved up from 0% to 15%.) Perhaps The Sentinel was doing THAT on purpose because he wants to stimulate us to participate, knowing how easy we are to beat? There should be very little doubt that if we did participate, despite the Freebladers and Delarquans needing the most help, we would have to Andorianate.

It's non-scoring. You can't strategize for Turn 0 like you can with Turn 1. All you gotta do is make sure your region has at least 3 to show up for Turn 0 so you can form a legal team on Turn 1.

Free choice to make fun of both Andorians and Delarqs when we win

So if you lose, then you won't make fun of anyone?

Of course we still will still make fun of both. Have you guys actually seen yourselves in action? Wooeee! Mocking the zealous extremes is the inalienable right of the enlightened center.

Not about doing what I say, but having the common decency for everyone to know who is playing. OK, so I wasted my breath (yet again), I should have known what the result was going to be. That's all the endurance I have for that subject, so I'll just be silently annoyed.
